Flavoring extra virgin olive oil dates back to ancient Mediterranean civilizations. Early Greeks and Romans added herbs and spices to oils for flavor and as medicine. Over the centuries, production evolved into distinct methods, with modern artisanal techniques rising in the 1990s. 

Though there are several techniques to "flavor" olive oil, José Gourmet uses the most common historical and modern method. It involves taking finished virgin olive oil and steeping ingredients (like garlic, rosemary, or chili) into it. Much like making tea.

Heralding from Portugal's southern Alentejo region, this Virgin Olive Oil's incomparable flavor is due to the slaty soil and the climate of the Portel Mountain.

José Gourmet just took it a step further and and combined it with rosemary. This aromatic plant is rich in antioxidants. Its rejuvenating and free-radical-neutralizing properties make it quite inviting, and even more so when it delivers the daily pleasure of savoring an ancestral yet exquisite combination.  

The smooth, versatile, robust olive oil is complemented by the fragrant, pine-like notes of rosemary, adding a delightful twist to your cooking. Perfect for drizzling over grilled meats, vegetables, or salads, or for creating flavorful marinades and dressings, this infused olive oil brings a touch of Alentejo's culinary tradition to your kitchen.
